This chair is a bit of a mystery, its been in the warehouse for around 7-8 years, in all that time I have never seen anything remotely similar. It has Chinese dragons to the base, a pierced repoussé finish to the metal work which looks almost Anglo Indian and various gems embossed to the rear
The chair does swivel but very badly, it also leans to one side a bit, has tonnes of patina and losses, this is as original as you could hope to find such a rare survivor
